Support the unity of our Continent and its solidarity , and to bear the responsibility of keeping this unity not susceptible to any dangerous problems by electing suspects of serious human rights violations such as Omer Hassan Ahmed El Basheer, the head of Khartoum regime, to lead the Continent of revolutions.
